I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

After finding the small box Helena mentioned, Roland discovered that it was even better than his own dimensional bag!
Once the small box was opened, it was like opening the entrance to a cellar. The space inside was surprisingly large.

After scanning the interior space with his divine sense, Roland discovered that it was divided into five large areas. In addition to a botanical and zoological garden and a laboratory, there were also many magical creatures and some things that looked like mysterious beings.

Upon closer inspection, one could see groups of elves, puppets, and other creatures in the 'zoo and botanical garden' areas. These appeared to be Helena's servants.

In addition, the laboratory is equipped with a great many devices—it's like the setup of a wizard lord-level tower!
Roland couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: 'I knew this girl was rich, but I didn't expect her to be this rich! The space inside is probably not much smaller than Grey Falcon Fortress, and although the facilities are not as good as the Serpent Tower, they are not bad either.'
"Ha, she even has the experimental equipment of Blood Wizards and Twilight Wizards. This girl appears to be a white wizard, but she's been researching dark magic and the occult quite a bit behind the scenes!"

Roland's ideas are too outdated; the distinction between black and white in the East has long been blurred. This whole affair is actually related to Roland—he created the 'Shepherdess of Black Holy Blood'. After that, the Holy Blood lineage became a subject every wizard had to study.

Moreover, even the purest white wizards in the East are quite knowledgeable about dark magic. Professor Nadine, though a proper white wizard, is more knowledgeable about dark magic defense than many Twilight wizards.

It's just that although they know black magic, they don't use it for crooked or evil purposes.

So it's not that Helena went astray, but rather that these things are compulsory courses for a formal wizard in the Eastern Territory.

After scanning the area, Roland discovered something new.

'Huh? Weren't these silver items originally placed in the war room? And this large sand table?'
How much did this girl steal?!

Soon, Roland's divine sense discovered many large boxes in a large storage room, which appeared to be goods originally destined for some place.

There were even large quantities of silver coins held in bamboo baskets.

Wooden plaques hung on the bamboo baskets, bearing the official seal of Greyhawk Fortress.

These bamboo baskets were typically used in mints or national treasuries to hold money. Using bamboo baskets prevented damage to gold and silver, made it easier for officials to count and weigh them, and also prevented people from secretly scraping off pieces of gold and silver coins.

Therefore, this should be the military pay of the Greyfalcon Fort Logistics and Preparedness Department!
Roland thought to himself, 'No wonder Count Barr lost the battle; this girl stole everything!'

Roland even saw some cloth, cotton and spices, and even some boxes of vegetables.

It seems that Helena didn't even leave the kitchen and the storeroom untouched!
Soon, Roland found some resin and pebbles.

Seeing the pebbles, Roland couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

'These Styx Stones look no different from ordinary stones, but they are actually more precious than magic stones. Helena knows their value well.'

Roland was overthinking it. Helena didn't recognize the Styx Stones at all, but these were strategic resources for Grey Falcon City, so she knew they were valuable and took them all.

Seeing that the mist had already filled the boxes and begun to purify Helena's treasured collection, Roland hurriedly used a spell to shatter the stones of the two large boxes from a distance.

Roland thought to himself, 'In this fog, my senses are greatly suppressed, making it very difficult to cast spells. If my body hadn't recovered, I probably wouldn't even be able to use magic.'

Soon, Roland used magic to mix the two boxes of pebble fragments with resin, and then used his telekinesis to take everything out.

Suddenly, two boxes of goods disappeared from Helena's treasure chest, and a large pile of sticky 'cement' appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the bedroom.

After closing the treasure chest, Roland looked at the pile of 'cement' on the ground and became worried.

Roland thought to himself, 'I'm performing magic in front of an audience right now; when the fog disappears, the room must be exactly the same as before.'

He originally planned to break these things down and then plaster them onto the bedroom walls like cement. However, these things would harden on the walls and furniture in no time and become difficult to clean.

If the room looks different after the fog dissipates, Olivia will definitely notice something is wrong.

Roland thought to himself, 'We only have 20 minutes at most for this magic trick. If it goes on too long, Olivia might become suspicious and even barge in to check things out. We need to find a better way. Hmm, I've got it!'

After a moment of thought, Roland had a flash of inspiration. He waved his arms and cast a series of spells on the 'cement'. The cement was then broken down into countless tiny grains of sand, which then drifted into the mist like dandelions.

Dust filled the room, and the interior became even darker.

Roland inhaled a lot of dust into his mouth and nose, and he couldn't help but cough a few times. He quickly blocked his breathing.

Roland deliberately left a 'clean' area near the large bathtub, so that he and Helena wouldn't be choked to death by the dust later.

Soon, the large pile of cement on the ground turned into dust, covering the entire bedroom.

After walking around the room, Roland thought to himself, 'The bedroom environment is almost the same as the Sacred Pool now. It's just that it consumes too much magic power.'

These dust particles are very heavy and require magic to float in mid-air. The environment of the sacred pool is also purifying the magic on the dust particles.

However, Roland's magic would quickly recover once he entered the large bathtub, so he could still hold on.

However, he will need to devote some of his energy to maintaining the dust while he is rescuing people.

After nodding in satisfaction, Roland hurriedly took off his boots and entered the large bathtub wearing only a shirt and trousers.

After stepping into the large bathtub, Roland's vision and senses became clearer. For a moment, it felt as if he had entered sunlight from a dark tunnel.

Roland couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he saw the situation on the other side, he was slightly stunned.

Helena, the junior student, was naked, clutching her chest, staring blankly at Roland—the senior was wearing clothes.

Roland was also completely stunned—why was his junior student naked?!

Helena hurriedly tried to get up and put on some clothes, but Roland pushed her back into the bathtub.

Roland said, "Don't waste time! Hurry up, it's so dark, I can't see anything."

Roland said he couldn't see clearly, but his eyes kept looking into the water.

Helena didn't notice Roland's gaze, but felt a chill run down her spine. Startled, she immediately closed her legs.

At that moment, Helena was struck by a bolt from the blue.

She thought to herself, 'How could Senior Roland be like this! So embarrassing. Is he deliberately keeping things vague? But I can't see him clearly right now, and he probably can't see me clearly either, right?'

Roland thought to himself, 'I never expected this. This girl looks so innocent, yet her breasts are so thick! And how much padding did she get?! They're not actually that big, but they're not exactly flat either.'

A stern, angry gaze snapped Roland back to reality. He knew his junior was upset and dared not look any further. He quickly composed himself and got back to his business.

Roland pointed into the mist, and a mirror flew out of the mist and appeared in front of the two of them.

After taking the magic mirror, Roland examined it and couldn't help but grin, "What exactly is this mist? It's only been a short while, and even the magic mirror is damaged!"

Helena's heart tightened slightly, and she asked, "Is it still usable?" Roland replied, "Yes, it's usable. Hurry up. We've already wasted seven or eight minutes."

Helena asked, "How do I do it, senior?"

Before Helena could finish speaking, she felt Roland suddenly grab her arm and pull her into his embrace.

Feeling that broad chest and strong arms, Helena's mind went blank, buzzing.

When she came to her senses, she found that she and Roland were both reflected in the mirror in front of them.

It turns out that the senior student only wanted the two of them to be close together so they could see each other in the mirror, and it was for the convenience of doing serious business; he had no ulterior motives.
Although I don't know why the mirror could reflect both of us even though it was placed on one side of the bathtub, my senior still held me in his arms, but there must be a reason.

Just then, the mirror suddenly floated to the side of the two people, and then Helena found that there were two 'people' sitting opposite her!
The two people were in the same pose as Roland and his companion; the woman opposite them was holding Helena's hand, and the man opposite them was holding Roland's hand.

The four people's hands were clasped together.

Their attire was almost identical to Roland's, but their eyes were closed, as if they were asleep.

Upon closer inspection, the two bodies also appeared abnormal, resembling red jelly or two writhing lumps of flesh.

It was as if these two people had always been right across from each other, but the mirror was blocking their view, so they hadn't been seen just now.

However, Helena knew that they had only just appeared.

Helena couldn't help but recall the scene back in Maldore when everyone changed positions in the Sanctuary.

Roland seemed to have used the same method to move Edward and Isabella out.

Suddenly, Helena noticed that the water was slowly turning red, and the blood was flowing from Edward and his companion's bodies.
Helena nervously grasped Roland's hand and whispered, "Senior, those two seem to be melting!"

Roland nodded and said, "I anticipated this situation. They weren't embracing us before; they were sacrificed in the form of the 'Blood Sacred Tree,' which means they were eaten by us."

Helena said, "You mean they weren't human to begin with? That's why they can't turn back into humans? The reason they're in human form now is just because you cast a spell with the magic mirror?"

Roland said, "Indeed, they are no longer human. Because the two of them have long been like food, eaten and absorbed by us."

So, strictly speaking, they are the blood flowing from our bodies, the flesh cut from our bodies. They are not human beings, but primordial 'biomass'.

A thought inexplicably popped into Helena's mind—that she and her senior had two children.

Roland's understanding of the matter was clearly different from Helena's. He sighed and continued, "To put it bluntly, Edward and Isabella are the dung we just excreted."

Helena's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Roland's words implied that they had eaten two people before.

However, as a wizard, Helena was quite resilient. Her stomach churned slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

Helena touched their melting bodies to sense their condition.

Helena dared not awaken their sleeping souls, but she used her divine power to slightly restore their bodies.

With Helena's divine power, Edward and his companion's flesh and blood, which had melted into the water, gradually returned to their bodies.

Although their bodies were not fully restored, they no longer melted. Instead, they turned into two lumps of red slime.

Looking at the red jelly wriggling aimlessly around her, Helena said, "Senior, although their bodies have become like this, their souls are not seriously damaged."

I previously purchased some of the latest healing pods from the Holy Blood Wizards, which can heal even bodies that have turned into pus and blood.

But their flesh and blood are a bit strange; I'm not sure if they can be reshaped. I remember Senior Catherine has a lot of potions that can bring the dead back to life?

Roland said, "This is the 'Blood Tree,' the most perfect creation. Plasticization is not a problem. Having a healing pod would be even better."

There's no need for Catherine's potion. Once Aurelia arrives, she should have a way to directly recreate their bodies.

At this point, Roland couldn't help but sigh.

Roland wasn't really worried about saving people.

The Twilight Wizards have many ways to save people, especially the Heraka Wizards of the Dryblood family.

For ordinary necromancers, as long as there is a soul, they can turn the dead into the living dead.

For bloodthirsty sorcerers, as long as there is a soul, they can turn the dead back to life.

Back then, Earl Durand of Bloodfortress was turned into that state by Baron Bloodfortress. If it weren't for me and my senior interfering, that guy would have been cured.

In comparison, Edward and Isabella are now in a similar situation to those unlucky souls who were forced to join their mentor's medical experiments and ruined their lives.

If we don't consider a perfect restoration, spending a few hundred magic stones and using it for a few months will allow the two of them to hop around like octopuses.

Of course, with the help of the Holy Blood Wizards, they could be fully recovered in a few weeks. In fact, with Aurelie's help, they could be healed by tomorrow.

The key point is that once O'Reilly and the wizards arrive, he'll be exposed!
After all that effort, I originally wanted the two of them to help me deliver a letter. Now, what kind of letter can I deliver?

Helena knew what Roland was worried about, and she comforted him, "Senior, our efforts tonight weren't in vain. Think about it, if you were captured by Olivia and taken to the Papacy tomorrow, you wouldn't have another chance to rescue Edward."

Roland was so angry that his eyes turned black. He pinched Helena's mouth hard.

"Stop it, stop it, senior! It feels like their bones have floated onto my back!"

Roland exclaimed in astonishment, "How could there be bones?"

Before Roland could finish speaking, he felt a small hand grip hard on the abdomen of his shirt.
Roland stiffened slightly.

Helena said with some confusion, "Huh, why is it both hard and soft, and it's bouncing around?"

Roland: "."

Helena scratched at Roland a few times in confusion, then blushed and moved away from him.

She crossed her arms and said to Roland behind her, "Senior, I...I need to change my clothes. Please...please take them to my treatment pod quickly." (End of Chapter)
